How I unwind: Gemma Dawkins

Friday 26 August 2022


Gemma Dawkins is a holistic mind-body therapist, kinesiologist - and new mummy to her beautiful baby boy, Tallow Francis.

When the founder of GLD Space wants to relax or starts to feel off-balance... how does she reach zen?

She opened up about how she unwinds to Bailiwick Wellbeing...

I drink...

...a glass of vino.

Since living in Australia, wine tasting has become a great hobby of mine.

I eat...

...something that I have spent time making in the kitchen for me and my partner.

It could be a Buddha bowl, fajitas, nachos, risotto. I really love to cook to unwind.

I listen to...

...my chill mix on Spotify, which consists of my favourite Aussie artists Ziggy Alberts, The Teskey Brothers, Tash Sultana, and Kyle Lionhart.

I read...

...my 'Journey to the Heart' book by Melody Beattie.

It's a day by day written piece of wisdom that I like to read to help me to connect and reflect. 

I enjoy...

...just taking up space for myself on the mat.

This sometimes involves doing a few yoga poses, lying flat out on the mat or doing something called non-linear movement which involves just feeling into your body and moving it in anyway that it feels like it wants to move. 

I go to...

...Havre des Pas! I enjoy jumping in the ocean there.

There's nothing quite like it. 

I watch...

...any chick flick I can watch on Netflix.

Since being pregnant I love giving myself time to watch shows that make me feel good, such as 'The Bold Type' or 'Emily in Paris'.
